A lump or bump that appears on the chest, either suddenly or over time, is usually not serious. If the bump is unsightly and interferes with clothing, most people will initially have it examined mostly for that reason.
With some conditions, however, a chest bump can be a sign of a more concerning condition. For that reason, any bump that appears for no apparent reason should be examined by a medical provider. A "chest bump" might also be called a lump, nodule, cyst, or tumor.
